Winter G.,
Yes, compared to zone 5, I'm sure zone 7 sounds tropical, especially when I'm in southern California. But I live in a small mountain community at an elevation of 5500 feet. We're a unique micro climate. We can get frost and snow any time after about October 15 and planting anything out before Mother's Day is a big gamble.

We had a white Christmas, but really nice weather since then and the snow is almost gone. However, they say we are in for a change next week. It is not unusual for us to get two feet of snow at my house and four or five feet at other places in our community. But, we have an advantage over you. We can be off of our mountain in twenty minutes and at the beach in about an hour. Crazy.

When is it safe for you to plant out?
